Steps

1

While preparing a presentation there are certain basic guiding principals:

Make it simple.

Make it clear.

Don’t let the technology dominate the presentation. You want the audience to remember the quality of your research, not your PowerPoint wizardry.

2

We need to take certain points in consideration, while preparing the presentation:

What are the key points you want to make?

Who is your audience?

What are they interested in hearing?

How familiar are they, with your topic? Do they expect data or concepts?

3

Remember: A presentation is different than a paper. Don’t try to cover everything.

4

Resources of information is key to success. We must think on ::

What will you cover, what can be eliminated?

How much detail do you need? (Remember, your time and your audience’s attention are limited. For any part of your presentation, ask yourself “So what?”)

5

Logistics to be taken care of:

How big is the hall where you will be speaking?

How much time will you be given?

What time of day is your talk?

Carefully consider if you will depend on anyone else for producing your presentation—allow plenty of lead time.

6

Equipment Needs should also be taken care-of:

Ask what you will be given and what you must bring with you.

Consider all equipment you will need

Internet connection

Computer

Microphone

Software

7

Be prepared for a chalk talk because you never know if/when there will be technical problems.

8

Organise the Material Introduction:

Time to sell your idea or research.

Answer the question, “Why should I listen to you?”

Establish your personal credibility.

Organise the Material Body

Make sure you cover your main points.

Keep it short, especially titles.
